He was instrumental in the downfall of the Peshwa clan. Raghunathrao, also known as "Raghoba" and "Ragho Bharari," was the younger brother of Nanasaheb Peshwa. He expanded the Maratha Empire to Attock, a city now in the modern nation of Pakistan) until 1760. After the Third Battle of Panipat and his brother's death in 1761, he wanted the Peshwa throne for himself, but instead the throne was passed on to Madhavrao Peshwa. He was appointed as a regent to the young Peshwa, but tried to interfere with the administration. He soon fell out of favour with the Peshwa, and even tried to conspire against him by joining the Nizam of Hyderabad against the Peshwa. The alliance was defeated and Raghunathrao was placed under house arrest.
